Vedic Conclusion - What are the qualifications of an authentic Guru?

In Vedic civilization the Guru is worshiped as good as God. This is a very appealing opportunity for anyone who may want to take advantage of the innocent general public. Dr. Deepak Seth, the chairman of our society, Bhagavat Dharma Samaj, requested me to write a book on how to recognize a real Guru. For this reason we decided to write this book for the innocent people to use as an eye opener to distinguish who should be worshiped as good as God. We decided to name the book GURU NIRNAYA DIPIKA, or THE SCRIPTURAL DECISION ON WHO CAN BECOME GURU AND WHO CANNOT.

Just as there is some sort of vetting/reference check system in material life, the same process holds true for authentic spiritual life. It is called Guru Nirnaya Dipika

Mahant Sri Krsna Balaram Swamiji was elected to Mahamandaleshwar on April 6th 2004, Mahamandaleshwar is the topmost spiritual leadership position within all four Vedic Vaisnava Sampradayas worldwide.

"How to Spend your Last Seven Days on Earth"

Sukadeva Goswami

The Srimad Bhagavatam is a narration of a conversation delivered to a great King of India, he had been cursed to die in seven days and decided to give up his kingdom and learn about the true goal of life. As he prepares for his impending death, the saint Śukadeva Gosvāmī approaches the king and agrees to teach him. Their conversation goes on uninterrupted for seven days, during which the king does not eat, drink or sleep. This took place around 3100 BC and the 7 day conversation comprises 18,000 verses spoken in Devanagri, or Sanskrit. The following work is based on seven lectures by Mahamandaleshwar Sri Krsna Balaram Swamiji and summarizes the knowledge imparted over those 7 days. This will take the sincere student, to new levels of awareness and self realization. This work addresses every level of humanity, regardless of religion or situation in life because each of us face the same situation as King Pariksit.
